Your favorite games on OpenMandriva? Now - quick and easy to setup and execute.

Our talented and very much playing ;) members created a portal to help you to install and execute most popular Windows Games and Games Platforms - now - in your OpenMandriva Lx!We used all community forces (Wine, PlayOnLinux and our knowledge) to provide best and easy way to install all of them. We started from most popular games and platforms.

Forget dark commands with a lot of parameters and codes and configurations, you will install simply and quick, using basic linux commands, but most of the time you will need just your mouse.

Here is our tribute to our founder and the community he and others created. “The Scion” is a release dedicated to Mandrake, our ancestor, not lost but living on here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmandriva/files/release/2014.2/

Gaël Duval recently stated: “I read a lot of sad comments on Twitter about it (the loss of Mandriva) and realized that few of those guys seemed to be aware that actually Mandriva, the company, wasn’t doing a Linux distribution anymore for several years. The Mandriva Linux distribution, which earlier forked as PCLinuxOS, Mageia and others, is now OpenMandriva”.

(Gaël Duval is the founder of Mandrake ultimately to become Mandriva)

Just as any offering in the Mandrake spirit should be – it’s even more stable and it has loads of new fun stuff!

OpenMandriva Scion (2014.2) is a major update release of OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1.

Hi thereGood news everyone, a new version of OpenMandriva is ready to see the world in a few days, 2014.2 will soon be making its way to you. Listen out for details, features - and torrents!

OpenMandriva‘s history is well known. It was born at the tail of 2012 with the help of the community and Mandriva SA to continue the work on the distribution after Mandriva SA could not continue that.We thank Mandriva SA for their support at the start and wish the remaining Mandriva employees well for the future.

The OpenMandriva Association was created to unite the distribution formally known as Mandriva (aka Mandrake); to bring it back to its roots through listening to peoples needs and getting closer to its users and developers. Since then we have been independent (though we always welcome cooperative effort). We are glad to say that we continue to do this and will be bringing you a new release of OpenMandriva Lx 3 (2015) in the near future that will include new features and an update of many of the core components.

Mandrake was the first distribution to make a free operating system available which could be installed and configured by anyone who could use a keyboard and a mouse. When many of us first came to the “linux” world, there were two types of distro, the ones that gave you headaches as soon as you put the CD in the slot, and then there was Mandrake. The vision of its founder Gael Duval created an operating system which undoubtedly allowed many, many people access to modern technology and in doing so added greatly to the strength of the free software community.

We do and will do our very best to continue to hold and carry their crown - for you.

The OpenMandriva Community has been working hard, and after a long period of development and fixes, we’re happy to announce the alpha release of OpenMandriva Lx 3 (Einsteinium)!

We need your help to test all the little quirks which happen with different hardware! Please download and test the release, and report any bugs you see to our development team so that we can get started on fixing them. Together, we can make OpenMandriva Lx a great project.

For over two years we've created and supported a modern, free and easy to use OS without backdoors.

OpenMandriva is a non-profit association, a fully independent organization that manages, governs and develops its own Linux Distribution, it’s roots are in the Mandrake-Mandriva community. We have been developing this operating system for two years. Our contributors are all volunteers, who believe and invest in the world of free software which aims to produce software which is free of any backdoors (spyware). Our legal headquarters is in France, but our contributors and members come from 30 countries from all around the world.We believe that operating system should be free for the user, adaptable to their needs, technically advanced but at the same time easy to use. We have already developed and supported the system, it is a real functional thing that you can install and use yourself right now, feel free to download OpenMandriva Lx 2014.1 from http://openmandriva.org/

If it is here, why are we running a campaign? Our next release is scheduled for May 2015 and we need your help to support and further improve this high quality product.
